    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support the Statement from Sen. Crystal Asige. We have many PWDs in this country, but not all services and work given to them is adequate. In many instances, they are neglected. It is high time the country took PWDs seriously and give them what is enshrined in the Constitution. Disability is not inability. Sen. Crystal Asige is perfectly in this House as a representative of the PWDs. You can see how she contributes every day. She is very active and I congratulate her on that. We need to give space and support the PWDs. We need to allocate them enough resources so that they can contribute in nation building as required and do what they are required to do. I remember back when I was a Member of Parliament (MP) in the National Assembly, I built a school for the PWDs – the deaf. I am impressed today because the students in that school do a wonderful job. They have sat for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) Examination in the last three years and performed very well. The only thing is that we do not give enough opportunities and resources to the PWDs. We need to be serious on these things. This country needs to be serious on issues of disability."
